Affairs in the South.

OkIITkSDkS, A, T.. June Fist, S7. EDITOR CITIzES,-Two weeks ago your correspondent visited the mines and was satisfied that he could iustly write an encouraging letter, but on the second dsy thereafter, ihe murder of Mike Grace by the Indians, has brought about such & change that to write anything encouraging at present would be fsbrication. Work has been suspended on sll mines where put few men have been ss work, and although it is the general opinion that the Indians have gone back to the reservation still we know not when the next tiswin drunk will take place, resulting ss be- fore in a quarrel between different fac tlons and aaother break from the reser- vstio3 Co vent their spite on the unpro- tected white man.
 After the removal of Chief Geronimo and bis blood-thirsty band we felt AS though we could settle down in safety; but SO soon as settled down and begin nIng to prosper We are again called uROu VI NnOuAO OA OCCOnC tO these wards of our government This last break has caused a distrust that cannst be forgotten for some time to come. The question now IS how long will sister republic now on friendly terms with us, submit to those wards being armed snd equipped by our gov ernment and enabled to make these raids into their country, committing murder and scsthinz desolstion in county that would otherwise prosper particularly as under existing treaties We are bound to protect them from such raids. Let us say to those narrow minded praying fan atics in the east, who pray for the poor Indian and sheer st the Canadian gov ernmeut, would to God that We had the Canadian government to deal with this Indian question for one year. We could then settle down with a gusrsn- tee that we would not be compelled to move from our mines and ranches every few months to the towns for protection.
 General Miles, his officers and men have acted nobly and done all in their power. Had they not followed them through the mountains and compelled them to return to the reser- vstion. we would be compelled to chronicle more of their bloody deeds The only place 10 subdue these fends is on the reservation near by when they can return to and be protected while re- cuperating and concocting plans for their next raid,
 The shipments of ore from thls sta ton will be st least four carloads lees this month on account of this last raid.
 G. ". Piper q Go. have completed the burning of another kiln Of lime, one carload of which goes to Thomas Will son, the lumber man in Tucson. On next Friday the balance of the kiln was nearly all bar gained for before cold. A trip to their kilns shows quite an indus try. They employ seven men at prese nt and at the rate the demand for their lime is increasing they will soon have to build another kiln and increase their force of men.
 A grand time is anticipated at Hsr- shaw on July 4th. The HarshswItes once having taken hold to make 8 sue cess never fail. as was demonstrated by | them carrying on the public school for ] three months by subscriptions after the | school funds were exhausted. We hear | to-day that the committee of arrange ments have been very successful in their collections for this entertainment
